It the loose rivets can be peened with a small hammer on a metal object such as a shop vise they can be tightened.

Are you talking about the long handle or the short, cross-wise handle? If your long handle is loose, twist the ring that you would hang it from, at the end of the handle, clockwise to tighten it. Mine was loose as well. You might have to stick something through the ring to get enough leverage, unless you're an Amazon!

Then you should return it. When rivets are installed on anything, they should be tight and there is no way of tightening them unless you drill them out and install new ones. With this being cookware, it is in your best interest to return it and request for a replacement. I bought this for my neighbor and have not had this problem.

I don't believe the handle was made to be replaced, as it is molded onto the blade. There are no screws, rivets, bolts etc on the handle. I suppose someone with the right tools, know how and methods would be able to remove the current handle and manufacture another in its place. A job not for the average user I'd say.

The handle needs to be attached. I am not particularly adept at things like that, but was able to do it.I like my machine.

Just remove the only screw on the side the handle and pull apart. Hope this helps.

I simply tightened it by twisting handle & had no problem. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

The handle broke on my pan also. I notified amazon and they sent a replacement right away. The thing is when you do put the new handle back on do not tighten the screw too tight. I've not had any more trouble with the handle since. Hope this helps.

The handle is made from two pieces of tube steel connected together. I think you could remove one screw and pull the handle apart for packaging.

I had the *exact* same issue. I learned by tapping the unit on the side until the handle jiggles up and down makes it much easier to then simply lift the handle off the top. **UPDATE Fe b 20th** Nevermind, it has now become almost impossible to remove the handle. I now loathe trying to remove the top since it could take anywhere from 3 minutes - 10 minutes... along with a bruised palm of my hand.

No way to do it without unscrewing the handle. However the handle you have to unscrew will screw into the hole on the other handle so you do not lose it.

Nope, the handle is just the normal plastic if you put the wok in the oven, I think the handle will melt.

I took a closer look at this and I don't see how this can be done. The way the piece is molded on the side it does not look like the handle can be changed. to the other side.

I love the wok. I find the handle much easier to use than the two small side handles on my previous one. The only warning I would give is that the top edge is not rolled and I have gotten small cuts from the sharp edge when I reach for something in the nestedans and lids in my cupboard.

Im not sure, but if you call the Wok Shop they will help you. I called and they were very helpful.

The molded plastic handle is in 2 pieces (halves) secured with screws. It would be possible to detach the handle. The hollow metal tube might have a sharp edge.

Sorry I cannot help :( I had to return this wok 3 times due to a cracked handle when it arrived. I really wanted to use this wok since I already purchased the lid and waited too long to return it.

You might need to tighten the handle somewhat on your own, when you take it out of the box. Just use a basic screwdriver. It has not been a problem for me since doing this.

Answer here..I have been using mine quite regularly and my handle does not need to be constantly tightened. You might want to try a drop or two of glue to hold it securely.
